The Western Open at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort was held August 6th and 7th. The Specialized AllRide Academy attended the event to offer bike demos, riding clinics, and to race in the event to support Lola. Lola is the beneficiary of the Western Open and the motivation behind the entire weekend. Her story can be read at loveforlola.com. We hope this video will be a reminder to put next year's Western Open on your calendars for August 5th, 2012 because it was one of our favorite events of the season. Enjoy!

 Fantastic photo
I didn't know people were still getting around in those clipless shoes that look like there should be a road bike underneath him. Lauren Rosser wears the same kind and it just looks strange. But the compo in this image is tops

 Nope. The wheel won't spin while you're loosening the lugs. You could press the brakes... but this way is quicker.
